OWC Install Error

[Jason Gurtz]

On test client machines with Office 2007 SP1 installed, Excel Export
does not work in our Dynamics/Business portal Sharepoint application.
Error message is: "The Office Web Components (OWC) must be installed to
copy results to Excel." even though OWC 11 is indeed installed on the
workstations from the standalone package. Standard clients with Office
2003 work fine.

I uninstalled the older OWC11 first and then tried to install
owc2007sp1-kb937961-fullfile-en-us.exe but this fails with the error
"there are no products affected by this package installed on this system."

There are a few references to this error related to MOSS 2007 SP1
(there's a hotfix) and the Access Runtime but I can find no love for OWC.

Greatfull for any help.

Thanks but....well we got it working by installing an even older version
of OWC

The same version will work by the way. The Office 2007 install program
uninstalls OWC.
